Funny Story

We bought our tickets for Ecuador! We are going at the end of April and we are going to be able to spend a month with Javier's family! We are so excited and I am a little nervous too, which Javier assures me is completely irrational.

So here is my funny story. The other day, i went to get Max's passport and I had to measure him to tell them approximately how tall he is. He was 27 inches tall.

Later that night I was telling Javier about it,

Me: "...And when i measured Max he was 27 inches, can you believe it?"

Javier: "Yeah 27 inches, see I do listen when you talk!"

I thought that was impressive, and a little funny that he felt like he needed to convince me, so just to tease him, i asked him, "WHat was 27 inches?"

Javier: ...uh...(a little guilty chuckle at being caught not listening, when he was trying to prove he was)

Me: that is how tall Max was, can you believe it?

Javier: Oh wow....Wait how tall was he?

So there you go. I just thought that was hilarious. Although some friends told us yesterday that that is just a universal man thing, not to listen, so I guess i can't be too hard on him.

The moral of the story: Don't call attention to your listening skills when you are not listening, unless you are fully prepared to be laughed at.
